We LOVE this skatepark. The flow bowl and combi bowl are iconic. It's kept super clean compared to…read moreother unmonitored parks. It's FREE!!! The employees are great. Shout out to Simon and Lucy for always making us feel more than welcome. Any parent who complains about the park employees treatment of their kids is 100% NOT A SKATER. THAT is the real problem; Parents who have no clue regarding skatepark etiquette bringing their snowflake children to skateparks and thinking they can run willy nilly like it's a freakin trampoline park. They seriously endanger themselves and everyone else but their parents are too ignorant to know. My son is 10 and schooled in skatepark etiquette since day 1 and we have NEVER had anything but positive interactions with the staff here. Thank you VANS and Huntington Beach for this epic skatepark!!!

Our first visit here with my three kids was amazing. The staff were incredibly welcoming and had no…read moreproblem letting them try out the big bowl, which they loved. Unfortunately, today was a completely different story. We understand that safety rules exist for a reason, but the consistency and attitude from the staff today were awful. First, one staff member kindly asked me to separate my kids into different sections of the bowl so they wouldn't bump into each other because they are " inexperience" he said. I happily complied. Shortly after, another staff member came over with an angry tone and stated that only one kid could be in the bowl at a time. If that is the policy, that's fine but the staff needs to be on the same page, and they certainly don't need to be mean. It really felt like my kids were being singled out and penalized just for not being expert skateboarders yet. Super discouraging environment today.

The Back Bay Loop Trail is one of the best spots in Orange County for scenic views and outdoor…read moreactivity. Whether you're into hiking, biking, or running, this trail is a great option for all levels. It's especially beginner-friendly since there's very little elevation gain or loss. However, it is on the longer side, so I recommend coming prepared for a bit of distance. The views definitely make it worth it though. You can always ditch and go back to your car at any point if you find the hike too long. One of my favorite parts is that there are some great coffee shops you can stop by near different access points along the loop. The area also feels very safe. Overall, this is a perfect go-to trail if you're looking for something scenic and easy.

this is a pretty nice park. tucked away in a residential area. there could be way more parking (and…read morei think street parking is limited because of the residents) but it's fine. the rink is cool; there were a bunch of guys practicing while i was there and they stayed pretty late. the park area is large and the grass is well kept. there were a number of off-leash dogs and they kind of hassled me which stressed my (leashed) dog out. they encouraged me to let her go and play even though i said she is not chill. she did pretty well for the most part so that was nice! i went late at night so there weren't any kids at the park but the play area is pirate ship themed and they had three different fixtures depending on age. if i go back during the day and it's a different vibe, i'll update this review.

Bathrooms are clean enough and decently well stocked. Parents can grab a seat on one of many benches and there is good visibility as the kids run from area to area. There are baby and regular swings, and one big flat disk that you can lay down on. There are also spider web ropes for climbing. The softball fields are great for running the bases in between games, or flying a kite in the outfield. We tend to come in the evenings when it's cold so we haven't had a chance to use the splash pad but the structures in the area are still available for climbing. Solid choice for running off some kid energy.

If you are at the park to watch a baseball game, just be careful parking in the overflow parking lot along the first base line.
